Thanks for posting this list Scott, its always nice to keep up with what is out, and what we should be looking for. The more waves that say "out now" that I don't have, the more behind I start to feel . It is great to have this list too, and it looks like 2004 is just going to be a great year to be a SW collector, specifically if you like the OT figures (which I think most of us do). There are a lot of figures I personally am excited about, and I hope that everyone is getting at least some of the characters they have been wanting/asking for.

Hermi Odle, Death Star Trooper, and Stormtrooper are the most anticipated on the list for me I would say... All 3 I want to see done or redone, and the latter two I'm hoping for super articulation and great features (working holster, removable helmet, etc.).

I'm curious how the rumor mill will pan out ultimately but that is indeed a nice list going there.

I can't imagine that more than half of that the rumor list will pan out, but if it did 2004 would be the greatest year yet. Some of those I've seen on many lists, others I've only seen on what looks to be someone's wishlist posted on some site. Scott, is there any chance you could break that list up (using your discretion) on what is strongly rumored and what doesn't seem to have much of a back-up to the rumor?

I know that the Zuckuss is only a rumour, but for once I would wish for rehash instead of a new sculpt as it would save me forking out about £30 that the FF one commands over in the UK.If they resculpt then I will still ahve to fork out the £30 for an inferior figure.

What stores in U.S. have new figures besides Target & TRU.I havn't seen anything new at Wallys or KB Toys. and nothing here in Canada other than a few clone wars figs.

I found the R4, Luke and Bar-2 wave at a Meijer store here in Michigan last week. They seemed to be showing up state-wide the last week or so. Unfortunately I don't think this chain is nationwide but a midwestern store. I also found the Hoth wave at several Wal*Mart's before Christmas.
